When we first started this journey and I began to learn and advocate my husband was the same. I remember at dinner one night(the girls were not present) my husband was like, "It's not like the are geniuses or anything." I was like: "Uh...technically...based on their IQ scores they are.....duh."
That's when he started looking into it for himself. He had to come to the understanding as to the importance of the issues by himself.
